Here at Applewood Seed Company we create flower seed mixes to fit various applications and uses. For example, these include mixes for ornamental purposes, pollinator conservation, wildlife plantings, garden flowers, xeriscaping, and for various geographic regions.

Therefore, we believe you will find our mixes to be of high quality and to be well-suited to the intended application.
